France Address Generator

Generate French address-format samples for Paris, Lyon, Nice, Rennes, Bordeaux and Toulouse, with separate street, city, region and five-digit postal-code fields. Test accented characters, leading-zero preservation and imports using synthetic records rather than customer data. These are not validated delivery destinations.

A French fixture for 06000, accents and compact address lines

Check the leading zero in 06000 and the accent in Érables after exporting this fixture. Keep the administrative region in its own field while comparing a compact address line that omits it.

Download this record: JSON CSV

Use UTF-8 for the street text and a text-typed postcode column. A correct-looking city label does not compensate for a lost accent or postal zero.

What to check

  • Compare Érables exactly after import; detect replacement characters or accent removal.
  • Ensure the region filter does not get appended to the compact fullAddress when your application rebuilds it.

A preservation test should detect this change. Test intentional normalization against a separate contract.

What this version does not cover

Six region/locality fixtures, not every commune or postal area. Compact output omits region; CEDEX, overseas and independent apartment modes remain unsupported.

Sources for the expanded fixture pool

The government API lists commune postal codes. It does not verify the synthetic rue des Érables, house number or recipient, and a city may have more than one code.

France: Supported regions and locality samples

Six region/locality fixtures are maintained. Rennes, Bordeaux and Toulouse were added using French government commune postal-code data; this is not nationwide address coverage.

The current generator uses the following selectable fixtures:

Île-de-France (IDF)

Paris · 75001

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (ARA)

Lyon · 69001

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PAC)

Nice · 06000

Bretagne (BRE)

Rennes · 35000

Nouvelle-Aquitaine (NAQ)

Bordeaux · 33000

Occitanie (OCC)

Toulouse · 31000

France: Address structure and practical checks

Postal-code handling

French postcodes have five digits; 06000 in the Nice fixture must keep its leading zero. Store it as a string.

Address fields

Keep accents in street and place names. The region selector is a data filter; the postal line places the postcode before the city.

Scope of these samples

These are synthetic format examples, not verified delivery addresses or real identities. A listed region does not mean that every city, street or building there is covered.

Country-specific test checks

Postal code before the city

France places its five-digit postcode before the locality. The first release pairs Paris with 75001, Lyon with 69001 and Nice with 06000, checked against the French government geographic API. The administrative region is kept as a separate field and is not inserted into the compact address line.

Try accents and leading zeros

Select Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, generate a Nice record, save it and export CSV/JSON. Check that 06000 remains a five-character string and that É in the synthetic rue des Érables street line survives copying and UTF-8 import. Configure spreadsheet postal-code columns as text.

Display line, not a mailing label

The comma-separated preview is for application display. Postal labels have separate layout rules, including line length and uppercase guidance. This release does not produce CEDEX, overseas addresses or certified labels; street names and house numbers are synthetic fixtures.

FAQ

Does this cover all French regions?

No. Six region/locality examples are maintained here; the Rennes, Bordeaux and Toulouse additions were checked against the French government API. Overseas addresses remain outside the generated scope.

Why does fullAddress omit the administrative region?

The compact formatter uses the street and postcode/city line. Region is available separately as a filter and structured field.

Can I generate CEDEX or a separate apartment field?

Neither is a dedicated mode in this generator. Use a separate sourced fixture for those schema requirements.
